Internship in Accelerated Training with Fast Converging Solvers

Huawei Leuven Research Center

Leuven, Belgium

Student

In neural-based learning, a generalized model must be extracted and selected from a finite set of input-output samples drawn from an unknown probability distribution that should be descriptive enough for unseen/new input data. Due to the nonconvexity of the set of functions that can be approximated by neural networks and the nonconvex property of the objective function to be minimized, training performs by solving nonconvex optimization problems over nonconvex sets. These neural networks are primarily those involved in nonlinear function approximation underlying automated pattern detection/ extraction and recognition/identification such as multi-dimensional interaction modeling and their synthetic representation. In the context of communication networks, for instance, trained neural models aim at augmenting -or even replacing- current local routing and forwarding processes. Due to various operational or performance requirements, the corresponding tasks require in turn the solving of constrained nonconvex optimization problems.

On the other hand, despite recent advances in automatic differentiation (AD) algorithms and software, incorporating automatic differentiation tools in optimization solvers remains largely unexploited. Commonly, the solving of bound-constrained nonlinear optimization problems with, e.g., the Newton method or the Augmented Lagrangian Method (ALM), require the evaluation of the objective function, its gradient and the (sparsity pattern of the) Hessian matrix. Additionally, constrained optimization problems also involve providing the sparsity pattern and the Jacobian matrix of the constraints. The time and resource required to obtain this information and verify their correctness can be relatively large even for simple problems. Nowadays, optimization problem-solving environments provide modeling language and state-of-the-art optimization solvers together with packages that are capable to compute first-order information, e.g., derivatives, gradients. However, AD remains largely unexploited for generating these quantities; requiring consequently to run the entire framework and its packages altogether to solve nonlinear optimization problems. Moreover, for constrained neural networks training, it would be beneficial to solve the corresponding optimization problems by means of unified AD tools. In this context, the main goal is to blend AD tools that automatically generate the required first- and second-order quantities together with nonlinear optimization methods such as ALM for constrained problems.

Objective: instigate and investigate automatic differentiation tools for nonconvex optimization solvers that can rapidly converge with few function and derivative evaluations as well as provide and improve second-order information with the same efficiency and reliability as available for first-order information.

Task(s): design/formulate, develop and numerically evaluate enhancements of existing computational methods/algorithms such as ALM for solving constrained nonconvex optimization problems. To address the computational performance objectives, the candidate will also actively participate to the design (extension) and evaluation of (existing) automatic differentiation tools for solving such optimization problems. These tasks will be realized under the supervision of a senior (postdoc-level) researcher.

Duration: from 6 months to 1 year (max.)

Candidate profile:

If MSc thesis: the candidate must be following the last year of the curriculum in, e.g., Applied mathematics, Math. engineering, Theoretical computer science, Computer science engineering. Detailed coordinates of MSc promotor and his/her academic affiliation must be provided in the CV application form.
If internship: the candidate must have completed his/her MSc (in one of these disciplines) and ideally realized a thesis in one of the following domain(s): nonlinear programming, computational methods and algorithms for nonconvex optimization (incl. second order iterative methods, subspace methods, etc.), automatic differentiation. Copy of the MSc diploma/ certificate shall be included in annex of the CV. The internship can also be considered as part of post-MSc graduation or PhD graduation program.
Good knowledge of functional programming language (LISP, Julia, etc.) is considered as a plus.

Note well: candidate must have obtained their University degree from an academic institution of one of the EU country.

Starting date: Oct.1st, 2020 (earliest) – Dec.1st, 2020 (latest).

Internship in Nonconvex optimization

In the context of context of communication networks, neural networks are primarily involved in automated pattern detection/extraction and recognition/identification tasks in online signal processing (packet flows for instance) but also sub-graph analysis (network topology and path properties).

Moreover, due to various operational or performance requirements, training further involves the solving of constrained nonconvex optimization problems.

On the other hand, automatic differentiation (AD) onto which neural training algorithms relies, remains largely unexploited in optimization solvers. Commonly, the solving of bound-constrained nonlinear optimization problems with, e.g., the Newton method or the Augmented Lagrangian Method (ALM), require the evaluation of the objective function, its gradient and the (sparsity pattern of the) Hessian matrix. Additionally, constrained optimization problems also involve providing the sparsity pattern and the Jacobian matrix of the constraints. The time and resource required to obtain this information and verify their correctness can be relatively large even for simple problems. Nowadays, optimization problem-solving environments provide modeling language and state-of-the-art optimization solvers together with packages that are capable to compute first-order information, e.g., derivatives, gradients. However, AD remains largely unexploited for generating these quantities, requiring in turn to run the entire framework and its packages altogether to solve nonlinear optimization problems. For constrained neural networks training, it would also be beneficial to solve the corresponding nonconvex constrained optimization problem (including inequality constraints) by means of unified AD tools. Indeed, combining AD tools that automatically generate the required first- and second-order quantities together with nonlinear optimization methods such as ALM yields a promising method.

Objective: investigate nonconvex optimization solving methods that can rapidly converge with few function and derivative evaluations as well as provide and improve second-order information with the same efficiency and reliability as available for first-order information.

Task(s):

Formulate, develop and numerically evaluate enhancements/extensions of computational methods/algorithms including ALM for solving constrained nonconvex optimization problems.
To address the computational performance objectives, the candidate will also actively participate to the design (extension) and evaluation of (existing) automatic differentiation tools for solving such optimization problems.
Integration of these tools into a unified AD framework will be realized in cooperation with computational/numerical method experts. These tasks will be realized under the supervision of a senior (postdoc-level) researcher.

Duration:

Short duration (from 3 to 6 months): suited for MSc curriculum course
Long duration (up to 12 months): suited for MSc thesis internship
Note well: unpaid student internship (no working contract), only direct costs are reimbursed up to 660 Euros per month

Internship in Nonlinear System Identification

Huawei Leuven Research Center

Leuven, Belgium

Employee

Nonlinear system identification aims at identifying the mathematical model of a nonlinear system from measurement data of the system inputs and outputs. This method is often used to identify a part of a complex networked system. The identified model can then be involved in various network predictive tasks and procedures.

Unstructured or black-box models often rely on neural network models to exploit their nonlinear function approximation properties. On the other hand, structured or grey-box models are based on the interconnection of linear and nonlinear subsystems. Among the most common model structures, those of main consideration for this internship are the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) i) parallel-Wiener, and ii) parallel Wiener-Hammerstein (with and without feedback) models due to their universal approximation capability. Other the other hand, when a measurement of the input to the nonlinear map is available nonlinear identification with Hammerstein model structure is less difficult than identification with the Wiener structure. This observation has led to consider particular systems that are nonlinear in measurement data and linear in unmeasured states.

Objective: the goal is first to extend/combine existing structured modeling methods to Hammerstein-Wiener and parallel Hammerstein systems. Then by decomposing the dynamics such as to isolate the nonlinear part in between two linear subsystems further extend these methods for parallel Wiener-Hammerstein systems.

Task: Design and compare different subspace identification algorithms as well as basis function optimization algorithms. Evaluate and compare these algorithms both formally and numerically using various (synthetic or real) benchmark cases. Note that comparison against black box modeling methods is also be considered as part of the taskplan. These tasks will be realized under supervision of senior (postdoc-level) researcher.

Duration: from 6 months to 1 year (max.)

Candidate profile:

if MSc thesis: the candidate must be following the last year of the curriculum in, e.g., Applied/ Numerical mathematics, Math/Mechanical engineering, Theoretical computer science, Computer science engineering. Detailed coordinates of MSc promotor and his/her academic affiliation must be provided in the CV application form.
if internship: the candidate must have completed his MSc (in one of these disciplines). Copy of the MSc diploma/certificate shall be included in annex of the CV. The internship can also be considered as part of post-MSc graduation or PhD graduation program.
Good knowledge of networked systems is considered as a plus.

Note well: candidate must have obtained their University degree from an academic institution of one of the EU country.

Numerical Optimization Research Scientist

Huawei Leuven Research Center

Leuven, Belgium

Student

In the context of context of communication networks, neural networks are primarily involved in automated pattern detection/extraction and recognition/identification tasks in online signal processing (packet flows for instance) but also sub-graph analysis (network topology and path properties). Neural models aim at augmenting -or even replacing- current local routing and forwarding models and processes. For this purpose, a generalized model must be extracted and selected from a finite set of input-output samples drawn from an unknown probability distribution that should be descriptive enough for unseen/new input data. However, due to the nonconvexity of the set of functions that can be approximated by neural networks and the nonconvex property of the objective function to be minimized, their training performs by solving nonconvex optimization problems over nonconvex sets.

Predictive Network Modeling Research Internship

Huawei Leuven Research Center

Leuven, Belgium

Student

Rough network data being typically unlabeled limits application of neural networks to unsupervised learning tasks (learning from unlabeled data). Tools for automated network data labeling becomes thus a first-level priority to enable supervised learning tasks (learning from hypothesis/candidate models) by means of neural networks. These neural networks are primarily those involved in nonlinear function approximation underlying automated pattern detection/extraction and recognition/identification such as multi-dimensional interaction modeling and their synthetic representation. In the context of communication networks, for instance, labeled datasets can be used for training neural models to augment -or even replace- current local routing and forwarding process.

On the other hand, a label can be considered as encoding the value of the objective function underlying the machine learning task or the parameter of a model (structured learning). Hence, automated labeling implies that either this objective or the model are formally known. This operation can be realized either in batch or online mode. The former typically assumes that the main performance criteria relates to the size of the input (assumed to be complete) that needs to be processed to reach a given accuracy level. The latter implies time-constrained processing of incoming input following different arrival processes; thus, the number of cycles/inter-arrival times required to reach a given accuracy level.

Objective: automatic labeling method of network data, including spatio-temporal data (traffic, etc.), structural data (topological, etc.)

Task: blends modeling, algorithmic and experimental research; the candidate will have the opportunity to explore, evaluate and compare different labeling algorithms by formal and numerical methods. These tasks will be realized under supervision of senior (postdoc-level) researcher.

Duration: from 6 months to 1 year (max.)

Candidate profile:

if MSc thesis: the candidate must be following the last year of the curriculum in, e.g., Applied mathematics, Math engineering, Theoretical computer science, Computer science engineering.
